NBC News / theGrio.com Intern Qualifications (Editorial):

NBC NEWS has openings for interns at theGrio.com. 

TheGrio is NBC’s video-centric news website dedicated to producing stories of African-American interest. At just over two years old, the site is one of NBC News’ fastest growing new ventures.

Intern candidates for theGrio should have a strong interest in African-American news and culture. They should have experience in web production, publishing and writing for the web, and editing on Avid. Experience shooting and producing original video content is preferred.

In a tight-knit and fast-paced work environment much like many Internet start-ups, theGrio’s interns will gain hands-on experience running the website. They will also have the opportunity to assist digital journalists and the site’s editors with pre-production, fieldwork and editing multiple 2 – 3 minute daily news packages that will live on the site – and are often broadcast on NBC affiliates and other platforms.

Interns are also relied upon for their social media skills. A high comfort level with Facebook and twitter is a must. Strong news judgment skills will be needed for monitoring the wires, web, and partners for content.

This is a non-paid position with an approximate end date of May 2012. Interns must receive college credit and must be able to work at least two to three days a week.

Last Friday, October 21st we welcomed approximately 30 employers from the all areas of the communication field. Fox News, NBC Universal, Disney ABC, and PR firm Burson Marstellar were just a few of the stellar companies that participated in the recruiting event. Promptly at 11am, Dempster Hall had a line of eager students waiting to meet with these employers.  All were dressed professionally and ready to go! This year we had about 120 students that attended, all which the employers mentioned were "quality" candidates. We hope that you enjoyed the event and if you missed out, stop by the Career Center to pick up a listing of the participating employers.  You can see what they recruited for and remember if you see another event like this in the future, make you sure attend!
